Mike,

I think you have mentioned or referred to this case before, which brings up a question I’ve had in mind:

Can you explain a little about how the hull of the carrier fell to BXA classification vice DDTC?

The previous year, EPA Region 9 authorized the export of the hulk fo the ex-USS Bennington, an Essex class carryer, but only after the purchaser had performed a remediation program to remove asbestos and PCBs overseen by DLA/DRMS and the Navy. In fact, the remediation process so disrupted the interior of thevessel that the Navy certified that the hulk was fit only for reclamation of the metal and BXA classified it as scrap that did not require a license.
